Udkast til brev til "Aase[?]", hvor den "tåbelige Tavshed" undskyldes, og der berettes om en tur til Holte og Hørsholm 1913 - 1914

This page, an undated draft letter by J.A. Jerichau II, is made with pencil on paper, a real glimpse into the artist's process. Look closely, and you'll see the ghost of the artist's hand moving across the page. The smudges and light, feathery lines give you a sense of Jerichau thinking aloud. It’s like catching a snippet of a conversation, or maybe eavesdropping on a private moment. The writing is dense, almost chaotic, but there's a rhythm to it, a kind of visual music. Down at the bottom, there's a little sketch of a figure, so lightly rendered it's barely there, a fleeting thought given form. It reminds me of Cy Twombly's scribbled drawings, these fragments of ideas, half-formed and beautiful in their incompleteness. Art isn’t always about finished statements; sometimes it’s about the messy, in-between spaces where ideas take shape.
